<p style="text-align:left;"><span>Response actions for individuals are incident specific. Each emergency is different and knowing what actions you need to take for each type of threat will impact the decisions and preparations you make. Recognizing the potential hazard, in advance, will help to prepare you, your co-workers, other students and your family for the emergency, and assist with recovery after the incident has past.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span>Most incidents, including weather related emergencies come with advanced “watches” and “warnings”. Know what actions you need to take before disaster strikes. For those emergencies that happen without advanced notice, such as a fire, medical emergency, leak or odor, knowing who to call initiates the proper emergency response.</span></p>
<ul><li><span>Know the local emergency numbers for your area, and program them into your mobile device.</span></li>
